California Repeats as the Nation’s Auto Theft Hot Spot
Nationally, Auto Theft Declines 2.6%
Palos Hills, IL—The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) reported today that for calendar year 2004, California has once again set the pace for auto theft. Seven of the nation’s top ten areas with the highest vehicle theft rates are in California. The communities of Las Vegas, Nevada; Phoenix-Mesa, Arizona and Seattle-Everett-Bellevue, Washington round out the top ten.

For 2004—with their 2003 ranking in parenthesis—the ten metropolitan statistical areas with the highest vehicle theft rates are:

Modesto, CA (1)
Stockton-Lodi, CA (3)
Las Vegas, NV (4)
Phoenix-Mesa, AZ (2)
Sacramento, CA (5)
Oakland, CA (7)
Visalia-Tulare-Porterville, CA (15)
San Diego, CA (9)
Fresno, CA (6)
Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA (11)
According to Hot Spots, its annual report on auto theft rates, NICB reviewed data supplied by the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) for each of the nation’s 336 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). MSAs are designated by the Office of Management and Budget and may include areas surrounding a specific city. For example, the number one Hot Spot in the current report is Modesto, CA. The Modesto MSA, however, includes data not only from the city of Modesto, but the entire county of Stanislaus in which Modesto is located.

Interesting info...I would have thought L.A. would be #1 instead of Modesto...

Not surprised that Cali is #1, we probably have the most vehicles in the entire nation

The NICB didn’t rank on the basis of raw numbers. It took data supplied by the National Crime Information Center and Census figures to calculate a theft rate per 100,000 population.
